Prime location to most places you want to visit within Amsterdam. Walkable to Van Gough museum, heineken experience, and the Rijksmuseum. Also across the street is leidseplein square which has a ton of bars and nightlife going on. There is also a casino nearby. Can't stress the location enough.

The hostel itself was good or average. Clean enough, wifi only in the lobby which is a bummer. Multiple card swipes to get to your room is annoying but makes sure your safe at least. The front desk is nice and extremely helpful with everything from directions to tours of the city. Bring your own lock because you'll have to buy one there, and they also don't rent towels only sell them. If your a student on a budget and need a place, this is a very solid option. Lots of students and young people were staying when I visited and its a younger crowd.

This is a nice hostel with a great location, especially if you're trying to save money on public transportation or only have a short time in Amsterdam. It's a really short walk from Museumplein (which includes the Rijks Museum, the Van Gogh Museum, and Stedelijk Museum) and is also a short walk from Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein (great places to go out), the flower market, and several great places to shop. It has a card swipe system and while the cupboard in your room doesn't come with a lock, you can bring your own or rent a safe downstairs for a semi-reasonable price. The beds have individual lights and the room, sheets, etc. were all very clean, although the overall atmosphere of the hostel almost seemed a little too clean and standardised. The bar had good beer and was busy on Friday night, but it's still much better to out to a real bar. Wi-fi was only available in the lobby, which was kind of a bummer, but the breakfast was great. Bring your own soap/hand sanitiser because they don't have it in the bathrooms adjoining the rooms.

Room Tip: If you want to save money, don't be afraid to stay in one of the super big rooms. If I remember...

Stayed 3 nights, 3 people in a 4 person ensuiteProsRoom is spacious; shower & toilet are separateWide selection of cheese, cold meat, fruits etc. for breakfast Staff were very friendly & helpful (I had an online interview one night and they offered me a quiet space to have the interview, plus internet was smooth!). Also allowed us to leave our larger luggage for 2 nights when we went to Belgium.Good location -if you like walking, locations are within easy walking distances (especially since Holland's so flat).

ConsInternet only available in public areas, not in rooms (but the public areas were nice and comfy)

Stayed here with a friend at the end of January in a 4 bed mixed dorm. Reception staff were friendly enough. The room was actually slightly bigger than I thought it would be, judging by the pictures and the shower/toilet/sink were all very clean. Not having wifi in the room was a litlle annoying but didn't really matter. Tried the breakfast once, wasn't great to be honest.

Didn't really spend much time in the hostel but it was a nice place to be based. It was handy how the free walking tour started from the reception.

Would definitely stay here again if returning to Amsterdam however I would probably get a private room as sharing with two random people was a very slight inconveniencenat times.

I traveled with my friends to Amsterdam mid January 2014. They had already booked their rooms and I decided at a later point to join them. We tried to contact the hostel to get us in the same room but we got no response from them so when I booked my room we added this to the notes instead. In the end they were not able to arrange this for us so we ended up with 2 4 bed rooms between 3 people. So we were paying an excess which was quite annoying.

Aside from that the rooms themselves were pretty good. Bunk beds in each and reasonable en suite bathrooms which was nice as we didn't have to leave the room to find a bathroom. They give you a pack of bed linen to make your own bed.

The breakfast included was okay, although not a huge selection but enough to keep you going and teas and juices as well. We ate at the restaurant but I wouldn't recommend that.

Some of the staff were a bit funny with us, but some were very helpful so it was a bit hit and miss.

No wifi in the rooms which was really annoying and also one powerpoint in each room so it's difficult to charge your electronics!

You can't hire bikes once you've checked out, even though we left our bags in the lockers which is also a pain.

The location is amazing with all the attractions a short walk or tram ride away, and it feels safe here. Amsterdam in general is a fantastic place to visit and this works really well as a base. It was also really easy to find as they had lots of signs posting you the right way.

For what you pay (if you don't get the problem we had) it's value for money, as it is a hostel after all and works well as a place to crash but there are changes to be made...

Thank you for your review and ratings. We are happy to hear you had a good time staying with us. We also appreciate your feedback. We are aware of the limited outlets in the rooms. Therefore, you can charge your electronic devices at the reception. WiFi is only available in the common area, as we want to encourage people to come downstairs and meet fellow travelers. We will look into what happened with renting bikes after check out, as you should be able to just rent them. As for the room allocation, sorry for the inconvenience. We will make sure that this doesn't happen in the future. We hope you had a great time in Amsterdam! Frank, Stayokay Vondelpark

I was visiting Amsterdam for the first time and traveling in my own... Found the hostel online which was nice and cheap and fairly close to the centre. Nothing to complain about as i used it just to test my head during the night, would willingly use the hostel again... Thanks for the stay

I was few months ago in this hostel with friend.The room was clean, but furnished in really minimal way. The bed are not very confortable and big, anyway the price and the good position of the hostel make Stayok a good solution for the travellers.

Common space are very nice, but maybe the staff should help you more to plan in best way your tripo in amsterdam. The entourage is not always kind with guests.
